So in your opinion, who do you think the most powerful senshi is? In terms of attacks, personality-wise, forcefulness, appeal. Mostly attacks, who's is the most useful and effective? Break it down and tell us why.

I can't really make up my mind so I was hoping to hear everyone's opinions on who they think is the most powerful. I mean we've got to consider Sailor Saturn's destructive power and how most of us think the Outer Senshi are quite powerful but I think the most powerful attack is the most useful and effective like I mentioned beforehand.

Of course most people will go with Saturn just for the fact she has the ability to end all things. However I'm going to stand by either Mercury or Neptune. Water is quite destructive. Floods, drowning, forceful enough to tear things apart as well as snuffs out fires. You could always say Moon or Pluto, but their damage seems to be derived of non elemental proportions so in reality I don't think in my mind they are not an option.

Potentially, I would be inclined to say Mercury or Neptune, based on derivative powers that they could have, if you thought of some nasty side effects. Humans are mostly water, after all, and it wouldn't be hard to assume at least three quarters of the humanoid youma are the same. Water can both boil and freeze.

Blood-bending is indeed a powerful craft. But what I'm thinking is sort of a combination of blood-bending and (if you've seen the first episode of FMA: Brotherhood) alchemy. Alchemy is based off of scientific reactions in some shape or another, so give that a little nudge, and you've got a very lethal force.

It's interesting how everyone's chosen the idea of water being the most powerful element. I think if Jupiter was allowed a little more electical power in her attacks - I noticed they turned a little into a wood element at some point, then I think all round Sailor Jupiter could be incredibly powerful, not to mention the fact that water is an insulator for electricity.

Sailor Star Maker. She has the power to give any other senshi awful monthly symptoms. "Star NOT GENTLE Uterus!" :S </don't take this post seriously folks>

In a case of who's the most powerful, it would differ on how you define it: do they have to survive using their power, or it is more like "who can take down the most bad guys with them"? Pluto and Saturn both have useful final attacks, but they die. X(

Also, strategy: the water thing mentioned earlier, and controlling air (respiratory system, atmosphere) and electricity (nervous system, heart) could be pretty nasty if someone had enough control + a mean streak. She'd have to have Ami's medical knowledge to really use it that well, but targeted attacks from Jupiter could- for almost anyone- cause paralytic muscle cramps or even fry parts of their nervous system... But since it's SM and not, say, Naruto, I don't think powers would be used so gruesomely. What could happen in another and what would happen in something Takeuchi wrote would probably be different things...?

I kind of want to say Chibi-Chibi. Just be being adorable, most senshi/bad guys couldn't hurt her, but she can grow up suddenly and blast things if the cuteness doesn't work. She's versatile: and small enough to hide in a postal box or somewhere equally ridiculous if she doesn't want to fight.

Lol of course Sailor Moon is if, in your opinion, you think she has more powerful attacks. Venus's powers, to me are sort of like a psychological attack (bar the light power) - I mean the power of love for example, 'love and beauty shock' and I guess a mental attack is as good as any.

I keep going back to Sailor Uranus as well with her attack - the fact that she can control wind/air so much that she's able to wreck the earth to 'shake it' so to speak. I think she'd really be able to wreck havoc with that kind of power.

I thought that her powers were earth-related? :? Does she use wind to do it??? It always looked to me like a Pokemon using "earthquake". ^^;;;;;;; Have I missed it all these years? @_@

Haruka is the Soldier of Flight X3 in World Shaking she takes power from the skies and rams it into the Earth... That's why the reason why she says "Rushing Wind, Sailor Uranus" in the song Koi no Senshi ja Irarenai.

I think its Sailor Moon because love and compassion is pretty much the strongest power possible in Sailor Moon. And as the soldier of love and justice and the soldier of love and beauty it just seems right for me... Especially when the 8 other senshi can't defeat Galaxia and Usagi does it with a handshake...

Not the Soldier of the Sky? @_@ I must've had a crappy translation... My Pokemon-ized brain is rebelling at the idea of a wind attack using earth... @_@ Why did I never notice this... (Wouldn't hitting the ground first reduce the inertia and torque? @_@)

Yeah, Sailor Moon probably *would* be the strongest... Because she BELIEVES and has hope and pink sparkles and all that... It is a shoujo anime, after all.

Oh no, its just another title for her. I believe there's also "Soldier of the Wind". I don't think World Shaking in the anime is a physical attack like Love-Me Chain or Burning Mandala. But she seems to gather energy from the sky and hurls it into the Earth in that big orange globe thing. The same thing for Deep Submerge and Dead Scream.One of Haruka's image songs is even called "Kaze ni Naritai" (I Want To Become The Wind)...

As for Sailor Moon...anyone who can perform Moon Spiral Heart Attack is undoubtedly someone you should be cautious of, vague magic is always better than actual attacks ._.

That's so true, magic is definitely a powerful force. I have to agree with your argument there.

Individually, I would say Sailor Saturn is still the most powerful Sailor Senshi of the bunch. When you think about it, all she has to do to destroy the planet is turn her Glavie upside down and BOOM! God save the senshi if she were ever to get drunk...

Overall though, I do believe Sailor Moon is also the most powerful because she is able to channel everyone's power through her when the others lend her their power. In the anime, it is strongly suggested that the way she was able to obtain the ESM form was through everyone channeling their power to her and how she was also able to defeat Metalia in the anime as well. I'm not so sure how it was in the manga as I haven't read it for years, but I do know that is how it is suggested in the anime.

I think these two are on the same level as Sailor Saturn can bring death to a situation and Sailor Moon can bring rebirth to a situation.

I think Sailor Moon. She was able to beat so many powerful villians simply by having love for them and her determined nature to not give up on them and sacrificing her life. After that I think Sailor Saturn.

I personally feel that Haruka, Michiru and Setsuna would be overly protective parents to Hotaru and would never let her anywhere near alcohol, so i think we're safe on that front.

The power of a Sailor Soldier is controlled by willpower in my opinion. Just look at those bursts of power during Sailor Moon R, or how they couldn't get Sailor Crystals in the Yume arc, and I don't think you can deny that Usagi has the strongest will of them all.

Hotaru: Mama, Mama, Papa? Can I got to a party with Chibiusa?Setsuna: *sips tea*Michiru: *sips tea*Haruka: Will there be boys...Setsuna: *chokes on tea*Michiru: *chokes on tea* Hotaru: Y-yes...?Haruka: Don't you have some reading and lamps to attend to?Hotaru: Yes papa ._.

Anyway! Moving back onto topic, I see no one's suggested Sailor Mars? Fire is a pretty powerful element, unfortunately it can be tamed by water, however she has excellent spiritual psychic skills that she is able to use even when she's not in her senshi form. I believe Rei is a very intuitive being so this gives her an advantage.

You do have a point about Rei's spiritual and psychic abilities. Her element is pretty strong as well but as you've mentioned it can be put out by water.

Michiru has the Deep Aqua Mirror as well as being able to tell omens without having to use a fire. "The sea is stormy" and all that. So I think Michiru outranks Rei in spiritual ability. Setsuna beats both of them further...

About Star Fighter, what sets her apart from Healer and Maker?

Minako who managed to beat a large amount of villains alone without even having been fully awakened would be my best candidate.

They all have seperate attacks. I mean 'inferno' suggests a type of fire power - as we've discussed fire is only so useful (like you mentioned, it worked against Seiren that time). I have no idea where to begin with 'uterus' I mean what does that even suggest? I know it represents creation and in this sense, creation of a star but I don't understand the attack in general. However 'laser' obviously indicates a laser attack which can be quite destructive.

I personally dont think the Starlights attacks are that literal. More manifestations of power and energy, similar to Sailor Moon or the Outer Senshi's primary attacks. This going with the idea that attacks are linked to willpower which is probably why Rei managed to beat Seiren with fire

If you want to go for usefulness you'd best with a senshi with more than one ability like Jupiter (wood and storms) or Venus (light love metal and antimosquito incense)
